Procrastination quiz: what is really making you put things off?

Ten quick statements, about two minutes. You get a procrastination level from 0 to 100 and the two triggers that drive it most, each with a fix backed by research. Nothing you answer leaves your browser.

1. I put off tasks that feel boring, confusing or unpleasant, even when they matter.
2. I only really start once a deadline is close.
3. I avoid starting because I doubt I can do the task well.
4. I mean to work, then end up on my phone, videos or social media.
5. I start a task, then switch to something easier or more fun.
6. I delay because I worry the result will not be good enough.
7. After putting something off, I feel guilty and beat myself up about it.
8. I stay up later than I meant to, scrolling or watching one more thing.
9. With big tasks, I am not sure what the very first step is.
10. I plan to do things "later" without choosing a time.

A quiz is a snapshot. ProcrastiGauge measures your actual procrastination every day: a one-minute nightly check-in records how long you waited before starting and what pulled you away, gives your day a score out of 100, and plans tomorrow's first step.
